Pretty Little Liars - The Fifth Liar

Chapter Five - Reality Bites Me

All of us had spent the night at Spencer's, the next morning. Aria and I were talking about the letter well it was mainly Aria.

" 'A' sent this letter to our Mom." Aria told everyone as I read over it again 'ask your daughters, they know all about it' That bitch made it seem like we had a choice, like i had a choice to keep my mouth shut, clearly they're not a sister.

"You know it's neither of your fault. It's your Dad's mistake totally." Emily comforted as she sat at Spencer's kitchen island

"No, it's my fault." Aria confirmed and I wouldn't disagree with her on this one. I moved her to the kitchen counter.

"I agree, it is your fault sis." I jump up on the island counter.

"Erica. Don't be mean. You did not hook up with her and then ask your kid to cover for you" Spencer poured herself some coffee

"Me be mean? No I'm being truthful. Ali and I said it from the start that we should have told Mom but no, I get ignored even though I'm the eldest . I have told you ever since it happened that the longer we keep it, the more chance it will come back and bite us on the ass. But hey I'm the mean one." I shrug nonchalantly while rolling my eyes, so freaking hypocritical

"Ali? Alison knew?" Em questioned me

"She was with us and for a rare moment we actually had a united front. We both agreed and in fact I was going to do it before Aria begged me not to." I pointed over to my sister who dropped the letter beside her.

"Alison saw this Meredith person?" Spence asked

"Meredith? Her name is Meredith. Ew, that's not even a cute girls name. I'm seeing big pours and mousy roots." Hanna scrunched her nose in disgust.

"Han, I think it's a little too soon to joke." Spence mutters

"I'm sorry. But if your gonna cheat you might as well do it with someone who deep conditions her hair." Han retorts unbothered by the light scalding

"Here put something in your mouth besides your foot." Spence handed Han a bagel then my blonde bestie turned round to face us.

"I'm sorry okay. All I'm saying is that when my Dad left laughing sometimes helped. So did crying." she offered her advice

"Our father hasn't left guys. I mean this happened over a year ago." they all said nothing "You think he's gonna leave?" Aria wondered her shoulder sagging slightly

"Sis, I've been praying that for over a year, just so I wouldn't have to see him. No such luck." I grabbed a bagel and picked at it.

"Look, whatever happens, we're here for you." Emily assured us. I jumped down and went to stand with my sister.

"Thank you guys for staying here. I don't think I could have been here alone." Spencer changed the subject

"When's your family getting back?"Em asked

"This afternoon." Spence replied

"Aren't you gonna clean up the mirror before they get here?" I looked at her. She bit her lip

"Want me to come with." Emily offered and Spencer nodded pushing herself up from her leaning position on the kitchen Island.

"We should all go." My Aria suggests.

"You know what it doesn't take five to clean a mirror, so why don't you three go and we'll just wait here." Hanna scoffs and I somewhat agreed with her

"Sure, you stay alone." Aria retorts trying to freak us out.

"We have each other." I wrap my arm around Han but then share a look

"Okay, lets' go." We followed them and Hanna's phone rang.
